KSP2 Ep13 - Offline: Changing Sphere of Influence?
We've hit a crossroad. We came back to celebrate KSP2, but it's not quite there yet. Maybe we jumped on the bandwagon too quickly. Maybe we're too long in the tooth to report on another development of a game. Or maybe we need to focus a little less on just KSP. We discuss our feelings about the...

KSP1 Special - Part 1: Where it all began

Digi returns after a period of time away so Mator and Aki catch him up on recent discussions. TheReadPanda is absent for this recording. We discuss the recent KSP2 v0.1.3 update as well as the seemingly contraversial 20% discount that is currently on offer for the game. Mator manages to view…

KSP2 Ep7 - KEI, Asteroids around Fomalhaut and A.I.
Digi is away to celebrate Mother's Day, leaving Mator, TheReadPanda and Aki to run the show. Despite the lack of interruptions and questionable science, the episode still runs on as usual. We end up discussing the KSP1 mod Kerbal Environmental Institute and the differences between Career and...

Aki returns for this episode and makes an apology for the previous stalling of the podcast. He also explains how the new format of the show will be from now onwards. CKAN for Kerbal Space Program is given some hype and we discuss some of the more unusual experiences with KSP2. The Real-Space...

With Aki and Read absent, Mator and Digi are joined by a guest: LinuxGuruGamer (The Mod Father!), who is a prolific modder, mod saviour and mod janitor of Kerbal Space Program. Linux talks through what it means to be a mod-maker/mod-maintainer. The hosts also discuss the very welcomed KSP2…

KSP2 Ep1 - We're back! Again...

BST Relaunched! Ep7 - KSP 1.11, KSP2 Delay and Rocket Launches
Only Mator and Aki are present for this show. Read was feeling under the weather and Digi was unable to attend a mid-week recording. But we could not delay the episode any longer as it was our last chance to record in the year 2020. We discuss what the the Kerbal Space Program 1.11 update will...
-

-
BST Relaunched! Ep5 - KSP 1.10 Overview, Intercept Games and Bad Segues
An episode is squeezed out just before Aki returns to the UK and it seems the pandemic hasn't caused a lack of news for both Kerbal Space Program and KSP2 this time. Version 1.10 drops for KSP and we go over the new features while the KSP2 slot is taken up with an inevitable discussion about the...
-
*BONUS* BST Relaunched! Ep4 After Party

-
BST Relaunched! Ep3 - 1.8 Moar Boosters Overview, KSP2 Dev3 and NASA Worm Logo
Perhaps our most wayward episode with the longest intro to date! We get immensely side-tracked during our intro segment, but it should still be good entertainment. We'll blame the lack of new KSP contact, thanks to the current pandemic. Skip the first 30 minutes if all you want is Kerbal Space...
-
BST Relaunched! Ep2 - Electric Boogaloo

1.2 is now in pre-release and we are now able to talk about the features without fear of breaking the Squad NDA. We run through our experiences with version 1.2 so far as well as giving a brief over view of the features. We weren't able to cover everything so we will be diving into more depth…

BST Ep22 - Offline One Year Special: Reflections and New Beginnings

-
BST Ep13 - 1.1 and 64bit, Press F for the Aviation Wheel, and Methane on Mars
Episode 13... well, the unlucky number lived up to its reputation after we experienced some peculiar abnormalities throughout this episode. Hurrah for editing. Without our constant rudder, The Read Panda, it was up to Aki, Digi and Mator to run show. We're very excited to discuss the pending...
-
BST Ep12 - Kerbal Stuff to Spacedock, Gravity Waves and Moon Music
